I want to share this poem after a day of emotional turmoil and realizing that we can’t continue to hide our feelings and stuff them all down. There will come a day when they will be released… and then healing and restoration can occur in new levels.

Are you a stuffer?
Stuffing all your feeling down…
and sometimes so deeply buried…
you think they will never be found.
Then something happens to you…
and these feelings just flow…
with tears of brokenness and heartache…
and even anger you didn’t know.
For all the wounds of your past…
had been buried so deep…
with feelings of anger and bitterness…
not realizing you had stuffed them to keep.
But we need to unpack…
and put our stuffing to an end…
